Christmas Blossoms - 2009

Crown 84 · Nov 22, 2009

As regular readers of my Blossoms posts in years past are aware, I have a penchant for decorated lamps/lampposts.

Here are a few I took this season.
The first 2 are at Crabtree and the 3rd was taken at another (outdoor mall) here in Raleigh called North Hills.

Crabtree's main hall in all its splendor!
(Fifth year for these decorations. I like to see variety but if they have to pick a design to stick with, I would go with this one!)

Our local mall has some lovely decorations this year.

I'll try and sneak a few pictures on my iPhone, seeing as they don't allow cameras in the mall

Really? Why is that?

Doxie · Nov 27, 2009

I honestly have no idea.

They have signs around the mall that say that no photography is allowed inside the mall.

Stupid really when there are such things as camera phones. How can they tell if your taking a picture or texting?!

brittd19 · Nov 27, 2009

hmm thats strange! but I know in My local walmart, you aren't supposed to take photos, or you can get kicked out!

Crown 84 · Nov 27, 2009

Interesting.
People snap photos all over Crabtree Valley and no one says a thing.

) I'm off to one of the malls today, hope I come back with some good pics to add.

We don't have any snow here yet. My pictures of the downtown walk didn't turn out so great. I haven't uploaded them yet, but in quick review they don't look very promising.

Crown 84 · Nov 28, 2009

We are looking forward to seeing you contributions, Auntie!

Wrought iron makes a nice backdrop for green garlands & wreaths with red bows.
Here are 2 more shots taken at the mall:

I'm heading to the Christmas market this weekend with my family, I will have to remember to bring my camera and get some photos for here!
